My religion is to live and die without regret.

When we get too caught up in the busyness of the world, we lose connection with one another – and ourselves.

Study the Buddha's teaching which is present in every moment.

The whole path of mindfulness is about letting go. We let go of our attachment to our views, our attachment to our opinions, our attachment to our ideas.

Radiate boundless love towards the entire world — above, below, and across — unhindered, without ill will, without enmity.

Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.

Forgiveness is giving up all hope for a better past.

Right practice is steady practice. Whether you feel lazy or diligent, just keep practicing.

Impermanence, suffering, and non-self are not philosophical concepts but realities to be directly perceived through mindfulness practice.

The more you understand yourself, the more you understand the world.

The ultimate revolution is the spiritual revolution, where we learn to see reality as it truly is.

Meditation is not about getting away from it all. It's about getting into it all.

Panic, anxiety, and stress are not obstacles to the practice. They are the path to wisdom and compassion.

Altruism is not a luxury, it is a necessity for the survival of humanity.

Right View is not just a matter of intellectual understanding but of seeing things as they really are.

When we attempt to exercise power or control over someone else, we cannot avoid giving that person the very same power or control over us.

The purpose of Buddhist practice is not to become a Buddhist but to awaken to the nature of reality.

Waking up this morning, I smile. Twenty-four brand new hours are before me. I vow to live fully in each moment.

The time of the past becomes the present, the time of the present becomes the future, the time of the future becomes the present, and the time of the present becomes the past.

The way to change others' minds is with affection, and not anger.

The mind has first to be attuned to the Unconscious.

When walking, just walk. When sitting, just sit. Above all, don't wobble.

The essence of the spiritual journey is the uncovering of what is always already present.

If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?

The eye with which I see Buddha is the same eye with which Buddha sees me.

A disciplined mind leads to happiness, and an undisciplined mind leads to suffering.

Look at situations from all angles, and you will become more open.

The practice of mindfulness is the practice of being alive in the present moment.

Choose to be optimistic, it feels better.

The spiritual journey begins with the recognition that beneath our surface happiness there lies a deep inner pain.

Don't try to change the world. First, change yourself.

What is the sound of one hand clapping?

Freedom is not found in the absence of difficulty, but in our relationship to it.
